Either the Egyptian king had the freedom to let Israel go, or he did not. If Pharaoh had a choice, then Pharaoh hardened his own heart. But if God hardened Pharaoh’s heart — as the text says — then what choice did Pharaoh have?

Islam has become a major problem in this country. And our politicians have neither the moral clarity nor the courage to do anything about it.
